Islam or pay a protection tax. Coming up: Dawn Of The Planet Of The

:00:00.:00:09.

Apes and the rest of the latest releases.

:00:10.:00:32.

Time for a look at the front pages. Thank you for joining us. Most of

:00:33.:00:42.

them are leading with the plane crash. The Times shows some of the

:00:43.:00:56.

80 children who died. The families of a British lawyer and a bankable

:00:57.:01:01.

top armed rebels deny access to the tragic that is of flight MH17. ``

:01:02.:01:10.

tragic victims. The Telegraph takes a similar line, saying that the

:01:11.:01:15.

victims have been robbed of their dignity by the rebels. And an

:01:16.:01:17.

official photograph of Prince George on his birthday. The crash in

:01:18.:01:26.

Ukraine and the Gaza conflict share the same headline in the

:01:27.:01:38.

Independent: The innocents. The front page of the Sunday Herald says

:01:39.:01:47.

one third of the plane victims came from Commonwealth nations. As you

:01:48.:01:55.

can imagine, it is hardly a surprise that MH17 has not disappeared from

:01:56.:02:00.

the front pages of the papers. It probably will not for some time. The

:02:01.:02:07.

Sunday Times is a harrowing front page. It's dreadful. These could be

:02:08.:02:15.

your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews. Ordinary little

:02:16.:02:22.

children whose lives had not even started and they are just some of

:02:23.:02:26.

the 80 children who died in this appalling incident. And it brings it

:02:27.:02:33.

home, the human cost to this. People like us, people like people we know.

:02:34.:02:40.

That is the awful tragedy. The other story on the Sunday Times is the

:02:41.:02:45.

hard edged side to this, which is a powerful piece by David Cameron, I

:02:46.:02:52.

think, where he has written, calling for some action. It has some attacks

:02:53.:03:01.

on European partners. And what is interesting is that like President

:03:02.:03:05.

Obama, he is pointing the finger of blame at the separatist and on

:03:06.:03:09.

Russia for backing them. Without any doubt at all will stop it is very

:03:10.:03:17.

strong language. It is a fine piece. He is giving Vladimir Putin an

:03:18.:03:21.

ultimatum. He says that unless he changes his approach to Ukraine,

:03:22.:03:24.

Europe must change its approach to Russia. What he means by that our

:03:25.:03:32.

sanctions but you get the impression that he is going further than that.

:03:33.:03:36.

This is making Vladimir Putin and international pariah, completely

:03:37.:03:41.

freezing him out, unless Vladimir Putin starts doing what needs to be

:03:42.:03:46.

done and the first stage will be to allow unfettered access immediately

:03:47.:03:52.

to international investigators. He makes comparisons to Lockerbie. Yes,

:03:53.:04:00.

he does. The horrors of Lockerbie that he remembers from when he was a

:04:01.:04:06.

young man. Similarly, the images of MH17 will not leave us. The Sunday

:04:07.:04:15.

Times says there is new evidence of an intercepted phone call, which,

:04:16.:04:20.

again, point very clearly towards the Kremlin, saying that the

:04:21.:04:23.

missiles were smuggled into Ukraine into the night `` in the night.

:04:24.:04:28.

David Cameron is talking about European partners. He says he has

:04:29.:04:35.

seen the reluctance to challenge Russia. Is he saying in the EU is

:04:36.:04:42.

not doing enough? Absolutely. And they do tend to be the countries

:04:43.:04:47.

with closest physical proximity to Russia and the most direct

:04:48.:04:53.

experience. And in a horrible twist of the tragedy that is unfolding,

:04:54.:04:57.

this could be quite an important moment for David Cameron. If he is

:04:58.:05:04.

seen to be the tough man of Europe on this instead of saying that we

:05:05.:05:09.

have to be grateful to the Russians for their gas and oil and so on, he

:05:10.:05:14.

actually could make a statesmanlike... This is nothing

:05:15.:05:25.

short of an ultimatum to President Putin and Putin has to respond to

:05:26.:05:32.

this literally immediately. The Mail on Sunday also focuses on the

:05:33.:05:38.

victims. They are looking at the British victims and two families in

:05:39.:05:44.

particular. Yes, two families of a lawyer and a banker who died with

:05:45.:05:47.

their wives and five children between them. They were going on

:05:48.:05:56.

holiday. John Allen and his wife and three sons. Andrew Hoare, a banker,

:05:57.:06:05.

with his wife and their two sons. The human cost. It brings it

:06:06.:06:11.

home... There has already been a huge human cost anyway before the

:06:12.:06:15.

plane crash in this conflict. What this does is tipped the

:06:16.:06:19.

international condemnation. Innocent people who were simply flying over.

:06:20.:06:24.

They would not even have known they were flying over Ukraine. They were

:06:25.:06:28.

on their way to conferences, holidays or whatever and they were

:06:29.:06:32.

blown out of the sky. That is what brings the horror... In the

:06:33.:06:43.

Observer: Armed rebels deny access to the disaster site. Quick to jump

:06:44.:06:46.

to the conclusion they are trying to cover up the evidence. We do not

:06:47.:06:53.

know but again, we have to look back at what Putin is saying. Either he

:06:54.:06:58.

is a very bad liar or not good at telling the truth but either way, he

:06:59.:07:02.

has been dissembling all the way through. Everything he says sounds

:07:03.:07:08.

hollow. The onus is on him now to sort out the investigation. That

:07:09.:07:12.

means immediate access to the crash site. These are pro`Russian

:07:13.:07:17.

militia. Surely there is some control over them. He can force the

:07:18.:07:23.

agenda. He will show that he is trying to find out who did it. We do

:07:24.:07:28.

not know who pulled the trigger of the missile but we do know that

:07:29.:07:32.

somebody did and that person must be found out as soon as possible. It is

:07:33.:07:40.

a confusing situation on the ground. Our reporters say you do not know

:07:41.:07:43.

who is in charge when it comes to the rebels. However, direction does

:07:44.:07:47.

probably have to come from Russia, as the Observer says. Absolutely.

:07:48.:07:55.

And Putin has it within his power to say that we must prove

:07:56.:07:58.

internationally that we can deal with this properly. The Independent

:07:59.:08:05.

on Sunday reminds us that the conflict in Ukraine is not the only

:08:06.:08:08.

one Taking Place in the world. Indeed, there are many. But two

:08:09.:08:14.

emerging ones. And their headline focuses on the victims. It is a

:08:15.:08:25.

stunning photographs, `` it is a stunning photograph. The independent

:08:26.:08:28.

without exception has stunning photographs. Carrying the wreckage

:08:29.:08:36.

of flight MH17 in Ukraine and carrying the bodies of children

:08:37.:08:40.

killed in Gaza. It is a powerful message for a Sunday newspaper. As

:08:41.:08:44.

people around the world call for an end to the bloodshed in Palestine,

:08:45.:08:51.

political leaders unite to call for an end to violence in Donetsk we

:08:52.:08:55.

report with the blood of innocents are being spilt. These are not

:08:56.:09:02.

soldiers, these are innocent people. And a reminder that there is an

:09:03.:09:06.

awful conflict going on in Gaza as well. And rather like Ukraine, the

:09:07.:09:11.

whole danger of Gaza is that it will keep escalating and escalating.

:09:12.:09:15.

There is no sign of any side pulling back. There are ceasefires here and

:09:16.:09:20.

there but they come to nothing until again we get pressure on both the

:09:21.:09:24.

Israelis and the Palestinians and Hamas to stop the fighting. This is

:09:25.:09:30.

going to carry on and it will get worse. That is the point. And both

:09:31.:09:37.

conflicts rely on the international community to try to end them as well

:09:38.:09:40.

and bring peace. The Sunday Telegraph. We will take a look at a

:09:41.:09:49.

slightly different story, now, because this is a headline I'm sure

:09:50.:09:54.

people like you, Nigel and Joe, did not think you would be reading

:09:55.:09:59.

tomorrow. Voters approve Cabinet changes. I'm actually surprised

:10:00.:10:04.

about this. What's David Cameron was trying to do was not so much make

:10:05.:10:08.

his Cabinet reshuffle a positive, he was removing negatives. We're coming

:10:09.:10:14.

up to the general election and all of the politicians will be trying to

:10:15.:10:19.

do this, jettisoning things that are unpopular. In Nick Clegg's Chase, ``

:10:20.:10:29.

Nick Clegg's case, it is the bedroom tax. In David Cameron's case, it is

:10:30.:10:35.

not having enough women. But this has turned out to be popular with

:10:36.:10:42.

the voters. This reshuffle, even more so among Tory voters. Maybe it

:10:43.:10:46.

is having more impact than we thought it would. I think that is

:10:47.:10:53.

actually the truth. Westminster watchers are looking for the

:10:54.:10:57.

minutiae and are being caught on the hop by William Hague and Michael

:10:58.:11:01.

Gove, obviously, but down at the local pub, people think actually,

:11:02.:11:08.

that's all right. But it has to be said that there is an interesting

:11:09.:11:12.

interview with Ken Clarke in the Observer, who has said some

:11:13.:11:18.

rather... He has thrown some cigar lead and hand grenades into the

:11:19.:11:23.

commentary. And Owen Paterson is also writing in the Telegraph today.

:11:24.:11:32.

`` cigar laden hand grenades into the commentary. This shows that

:11:33.:11:36.

policy still matters when it comes to the voters, not just

:11:37.:11:42.

personality. But the fact that it is Ken Clarke saying it makes me think

:11:43.:11:46.

this is just the opening shot of what he will be doing over the next

:11:47.:11:51.

few years, campaigning. And so the subtext of what he is saying about

:11:52.:11:58.

the recovery and that it is fragile, but most importantly the idea that

:11:59.:12:02.

we cannot go it alone, breaking away from Europe... He says it will not

:12:03.:12:07.

be wonderful if we break away from Europe. I think that if you put

:12:08.:12:14.

everything he says against that backdrop of his fanaticism for

:12:15.:12:19.

Europe... And returning to the Sunday Telegraph, because for a

:12:20.:12:24.

moment we could perhaps try to forget about some of the horrors in

:12:25.:12:28.

Ukraine and Gaza and for a fleeting moment, we could turn our attention

:12:29.:12:33.

to one particular very famous, very important one`year`old boy. If you

:12:34.:12:41.

could put a sepia filter over that photograph, it could be his father

:12:42.:12:46.

and his band father. The most extraordinary commonality. And ``

:12:47.:12:56.

his father or his grandfather. The most extraordinary commonality and

:12:57.:13:02.

the same wardrobe, it seems. They have slipped his hair back to make

:13:03.:13:06.

him look like he is out of the 1930s. He says he looks like Winston

:13:07.:13:18.

Churchill. As do all babies! LAUGHTER. But he is dressed like

:13:19.:13:24.

Winston Churchill as well! It shows that the monarchy is still well and

:13:25.:13:28.

truly alive and has a future in this country. And as you say, we need

:13:29.:13:35.

something that is quite cheering and what is nicer than seeing a baby

:13:36.:13:42.

take his first steps? This must be a delight for the Queen as well who

:13:43.:13:45.

has no doubt been worrying about the future of the monarchy in British

:13:46.:13:52.

society. This is good news for the Queen. Of course. What she can see

:13:53.:14:00.

is that the monarchy continues. The line is pretty much worked out. Is

:14:01.:14:06.

it how she would like it to continue, do you think? She has

:14:07.:14:12.

changed things. You have to remember how much she has been able to change

:14:13.:14:18.

the way... Or allow the changes. If you take the watershed of Princess

:14:19.:14:24.

Diana's death, she was the one who decided they had to come to London

:14:25.:14:29.

and not day in Balmoral, had to come and talk to the people, be among the

:14:30.:14:33.

people. Those things for her decision in the end. And that was

:14:34.:14:39.

quite important. When you look at the younger members of the Royal

:14:40.:14:43.

family now, they are doing their duty, going around the world and

:14:44.:14:47.

seeing people. It does show that the monarchy has a future. It seems a

:14:48.:14:53.

younger, more relaxed generation. Yes. I think back to the opening of

:14:54.:15:00.

the Olympic Games and there was a genuine sense of affection of these

:15:01.:15:07.

people who could teach politicians a thing or two. Thank you. Coming up

:15:08.:15:15.

next, the Film Review.
